Plan Zrównoważonej Mobilności Miejskiej dla Miasta Poznania (Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan for the City of Poznań)
The Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) for the City of Poznań is a comprehensive document that defines the city’s strategy for the development and transformation of issues related to all aspects of mobility – both individual and freight. The document replaces the previous plan adopted in 1999. The plan covers six areas: Safety and Traffic Management, Pedestrian and Bicycle Traffic, Environment and Space, Public Transport, Car Transport, Modern Technologies. The SUMP comprehensively addresses issues related to urban mobility, as well as partially addressing spatial planning, such as the location of residential areas, environmental protection, and social aspects. The scope of the SUMP’s impact is not limited solely to the administrative boundaries of the city but, due to its connections with neighboring municipalities within the functional area, it will influence mobility throughout the entire metropolitan area, particularly in terms of travel to and from Poznań.
